In order to provide an easy-to-handle tracheal ventilation apparatus that can easily be inserted and that impedes a swallowing process as little as possible, in which tracheal ventilation apparatus the risk of injuring the tracheal wall is reduced, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the proximal tube portion (3) and the distal tube portion (3) are connected to one another by way of an axially air-permeable joint (7) that facilitates at least restricted mobility and, in particular, pivotability of the axis of the distal tube portion (4) with respect to the axis of the proximal tube portion (3).

Abstract: The volume of a pressure equalization balloon is connected to a further volume, the pressure of which is intended to remain as constant as possible. To keep the cuff pressure in the pressure range of between roughly 20 mbar and 30 mbar, the equalization balloon is produced from a thermoplastic polymer (TPE) and is overstretched past the maximum intended control volume before first use and is then relaxed to the range of the control volume.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for driving an electromagnetic actuator, which comprises a field winding for generating a magnetic field and a movable armature, wherein, in the method, in order to move the armature from a preset starting position into a preset end position, a magnetic flux is generated in the field winding and the magnetic flux through the field winding or a flux variable correlated with the magnetic flux through the field winding is measured so as to form an actual value. The invention provides that, in order to move the armature from the starting position into the end position, the magnetic flux through the field winding is regulated, namely in such a way that the characteristic of the actual value corresponds to a fixedly preset setpoint flux curve.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an electric switch having at least one movable switch contact, movable by a movable armature of an electromagnetic actuator to switch the switch on and off, a spring device arranged between the movable switch contact and the armature and, in order to move the armature from a starting position to an armature end position, a magnetic flux being generated in an exciter winding of the actuator by an exciter current being fed into the exciter winding. According to an embodiment and taking into account a position data set which specifies the respective armature position as a function of magnetomotive values and flux values, an armature position—called the contact strike armature position below—is determined at which the switch contacts meet each other during the closing operation, before the armature reaches the armature end position.
